Notes from the Designer:

Rilie means courageous and brave. Life often requires us to step out into the unknown and accept the challenges laid before us. The idea of this shawl is to encourage brioche beginners to make something a little more advanced than a typical shawl or cowl and to knit a brioche shawl. The shawl is an asymmetrical triangle with increases only at one side. Rilie is worked in alternating stripes in both garter stitch and in brioche. It’s an easy sequence to follow and memorize and is sure to send your confidence soaring! Know that you are capable of so many amazing things in this world!

• The two-color sample used almost all 700 yds (640 m) total of both the MC and CC (350 yds/ 320 m) skeins.
• The three-color sample used approximately 955 yds (874 m) total [MC1: 320 yds (293 m), MC2: 320 yds (293 m), and CC: 315 yds (288 m)].
• The stitch terminology that follows was developed by Nancy Marchant. 
• Making a gauge swatch is critical to achieve the desired results. Please DO NOT assume that you knit to the same gauge as I do! Yes, it is an extra step. However, it also ensures that what you are knitting will produce what you expect, and you won’t need to worry about running out of yarn. If you are substituting yarn, it is especially important to verify that it behaves in the same way as the yarn called for in the pattern.
